phase two of my first cmsms site

[JeremyBASS]

Hello, this is my first CMSMS site where I took the old site and just pushed that design in CMSMS 1.1.x ... worked well for being on a Godaddy server thou I had to do a lot...

http://www.sjrmc.org

but here is the New beta (about 20 hours over the old site)

http://98.129.105.16

Still the same underlying structure as I have not be ok'ed to do a full redesign... but it's all kind of up graded... New Rackspace server so I could ditch the full page caching hack needed for the Godaddy server... all up to date at 1.6.4..

Also It's about to go live so if I may ask would anyone please go thru and test it out... I have run it thro IE6 IE7 IE8 FF and Safari 4 (win) .... all seems good and I think it's good to go less packing the js and css and running thru ySlow...

Any help would be great... Would love to hear back on the baby album area and the calendar areas as they have been work but good.... thank you...

Cheers
Jeremy

some nifty tricks...

CSS versioning... if you look at the soucre you'll see I like a stactic style sheet so I can configure the ETags and header and what not.. at the end you'll see ?1251064571

so what I did was make a UDT  "fileTime"

Code: Select all

$files=$params['File'];
$fileTimeIS=filemtime($files);
echo $files."?".$fileTimeIS;

and made the call like this



If you're not sure what that all means, the best place to start is reading about ySlow


There are tons of trick packed in there... tons of jQuery stuff.. I like jQuery and what not... hope you enjoy...

is there any special trick behind the Top Articles?

btw: padding doesn't look nice in iron (google chrome)

[JeremyBASS]

is there any special trick behind the Top Articles?

nope not really, just

Code: Select all

 

{news number='4' detailpage='news' summarytemplate='shortLISTING'}  

and

Template Name:
shortLISTING

Code: Select all

{if $pagecount > 1}{/if}{foreach from=$items item=entry}<span style=" list-style:georgian; padding-left:5px;">• {$entry->titlelink}</span><br/>{/foreach}<br/>

btw: padding doesn't look nice in iron (google chrome)

Thanks I forgot to take a look in chrome... thou we made a few changes yeasterday... I just hope Safari is ok still since if it works there is is suppost to work in Chrome... Thank the the heads up...

Cheers

[SimonSchaufi]

actually it is just the content part that needs to be moved down a bit (20px or so) the rest is fine

[JeremyBASS]

Thanks that is fixed... switched up the way it was for a all but IE on that one... the margin was being measured from the wrong point in IE6-7 ... I'll have to chack IE8 later but I'll be that will need the same fix as chrome did....

Thanks again for the heads up...

Cheers

It's now live... I haven't heard much back in the way of errors so I think all is good.  I can't wait to get to phase 3 on this so I can do more of the design not just move and slightly change things... Some other trick in here... the menu error in IE is fixed... you may have noticed the a sub menu was open after a hover despite the fact it's empty... also in the menu you see that there is a left right to it to.. all in the menu manager... Well hope you enjoy... Cheers

the menu template...

Code: Select all

{if $count > 0}
    
    <ul id="menu">
    {foreach from=$nodelist item=node name=foo} 
      {assign var=NodalDepth value=$node->depth}
  
        {if $smarty.foreach.foo.last}
           <!--{$smarty.foreach.foo.total}-->
        {/if}

        {if $node->depth > $node->prevdepth}
        	{assign var=parentIndex value=$node->index}
        
            {if ($node->alias=="cherc-2")}
                {assign var=face value="right"}
            {elseif (
                (substr_compare($node->hierarchy, "9.", 0,1)==0)
            )}
                {assign var=face value="left"}
            {else}
                {assign var=face value=""}
            {/if}
